The Grammys 2014 are history. Congratulations to Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers for winning record of the year, and to Pharrell for essentially beating himself, and that weird hat.

Edward Snowden, the NSA Whistleblower who leaked details of a National Security Agency program called “PRISM,” is no hero, but should be pardoned. The reason is that Mr. Snowden talks as if he expects to be hunted, jailed, and punished, perhaps inviting the development of what has occurred: a ground swell of support for his actions, albeit from some questionable...

Joan Rivers is a funny and legendary commedian, but that does not give her the right to make fun of Adele about her weight.
On the February 26th segment of The Late Show With David Letterman, Joan Rivers was supposed to be giving her recap of the Oscars, but it turned into her just making fat jokes of the lovely singer of the Oscar-wining song Skyfall that is Adele –...

Beverly Hills, CA – The 85th Academy Awards is history, and this blogger had another successful visit to Hollywood and Beverly Hills. We’ll focus on The Night Of 100 Stars Party later, but the focus now is on the Oscar winners from last night.
The surprise, to me, is that Argo won Best Picture, even after Ang Lee (another surprise) won Best Director for Life...

The Academy Awards are three days away, and it’s time for predictions. Here’s this blogger’s hypothesis: Lincoln will win ‘Best Picture’ at the Academy Awards. Note that, I said “hypotehesis,” because that means ‘educated guess, based on study.’

A note, while Lincoln, Les Miserables and Silver Linings Playbook dominate with four nominations each, James Bond’s epic Skyfall has one: Javiar Bardem for his role as Silva.
So, with the help of SAG and...

Social TV, the basic process of using your smartphone, laptop, or tablet to make comments on a TV show you happen to be watching at the time, is not something that’s going away any time soon. In fact, the “second screen phenomena” show signs of doing nothing but exploding.
This blogger was compelled to write a rebuttal to Ad Age Media Columnist Simon...

First, here’ the official list of nominees for the 85th Academy Awards. Second, congratulations to Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone for making the normally dull event really entertaining. Seth’s crack about some of the Best Actress nominees sleeping with Harvey Weinstein was hilarious.

The giant legion of fans of Justin Bieber, including 31 million Twitter Followers, is pissed off that The Grammy Awards have failed to nominate either artist for any one of the awards at the upcoming ceremony.
But, as explained in the video, the reason is simple: both Justin Bieber and One Direction play to a teen audience, mostly, whereas a performer like the awesome...

Skyfall is an amazing work of a film, let alone a great James Bond movie – arguably it’s the best Bond film ever. The best, in this blogger’s view, since Goldfinger.
What makes Skyfall so good is that, first, it’s the tightest Bond film I’ve ever seen. There’s very little wasted scene space. No place that makes me wonder ‘why...

The Google Trends for today, Friday October5th: Hulk Hogan Sex Tape, BLS, SkyFall, PBS.
First, a bit of a reversal: the BLS refers to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics and the newest monthly economic report that was earlier presented here at Zennie62.com. The report is that 7.8 percent is the new unemployment rate and that’s below 8 percent. 8 percent is the number...

Skyfall the 23rd James Bond movie to be released and the third featuring Daniel Craig in the lead roll, has a trailer that seems to point to a new direction for the series; it’s the first without an obvious James Bond Music reference.
Why this is, I do not know, but I suspect it’s in the same area of reasoning that led the producers to have Bond drinking...

50 years to the day, November 3, 1961, Sean Connery was introduced as the first James Bond. On November 3, 2011, James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli introduce the cast of the 23rd Bond Film, called Skyfall. The event was held in London at
